National Tree Day

National Tree Day will serve as a celebration for all Canadians to appreciate the great benefits that trees provide us - clean air, wildlife habitat, reducing energy demand and connecting with nature.

On March 2, 2011 a private members motion to declare the Wednesday of National Forest Week, National Tree Day, received consent from the House of Commons. The motion was presented  by Royal Galipeau, M.P., at the urging of Tree Canada.

National Tree Day takes place on the Wednesday of National Forest Week at the end of September.
